☆WHAT HAPPENED AT YOUR RECENT APPOINTMENT ☆
I heard the drink was nasty ;/ egh but thanks for the info @hidden_gem
Pre eclampsia . and oh ok ya everything been great so far ! No problems haven't done glucose yet
@dixiebell2323 they check the very top of your belly for the butt and around your bikini line for their head/neck. I have never had anything go wrong with my pregnancy my Dr's. Just go the extra mile to let me know as much as I can about the my baby. I past my glucose with flying colors the drink tasted so good like a caprisun juice and what's p.e?
Oh how do they tell if she's head down ? I was jw cause my doc said unless something wrong I so t have another us like if I get p.e or glucose test is high
@dixiebell2323 nope they checked my belly after measuring nd checking of she was heads down
@dixiebell2323 guesstimate lol and both Dr's. That guesstimated did the same thing which was finding the babies bum,head and neck nd from there they gave me the guesstimate but to be honest I have no clue. I didn't even know about it until my sister told me to ask bc she had it done when she was pregnant.
@hidden_gem, I think I should be fine as long as contractions stay away. As much as I want baby out he will come when he's ready.
@hidden_gem, my drs don't check until 38 weeks. I'll be 37 weeks on Sunday. The only way they will check me early is if my water breaks or I'm bleeding.
@db413 why are they waiting to check if you're dilated you're a week further than I am. And the weight is more of a guesstimate
@hidden_gem, I only got to know that he's growing right on schedule and his heartbeat was in the 150s. (Had caffeine before my appt). I don't know how much he weighs or if I'm dilated or anything until 38 weeks
@db413 girl I got that too I was like hoooollup dr. Lol how's the baby?
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
You couldn't find a babysitter?!
Mommas, do you take your kids with you to run errands and go to mundane appointments? On two separate occasions, a doctors appointment for me and today at a car service appointment, someone has remarked "you couldn't find a babysitter?!" It never crossed my mind to find a babysitter. I take my 2 kids with me just about everywhere. They are well behaved (minus the occasional 3 year old meltdown) and one of them is attached to my boob the majority of the time anyw...
Rant
My SO has been rude a lot ever since I've gotten pregnant...he said he doesn't care about my pregnancy, he doesn't even take one day off from work just ONE to come to at least one ultra sound appointment. I mean he's always making sure I'm fed, he lets use the heating pad, and even apologized to saying he doesn't care. He can mess with me all day but when I want to join and play around he gives me an attitude. He just makes me feel like s*** at times. He's a great fiancé don't get me wro...

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...

Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
@dixiebell2323 I got the clear fruit punch flavor it was great, some women don't like it but that's just bc it's sweet nd the baby may not like it . But no problem!
